Jannik Sinner’s three-month ban began on February 9 with complete radio silence. During this time, he was spotted only on friends’ social media, cycling, and enjoying karting. He wasn’t allowed to practice officially, making it a perfect chance to relax. On April 13, he returned to the clay courts of Monte Carlo, practicing with Jack Draper, signaling his serious comeback. Then, on April 28, Sinner announced the launch of his Jannik Sinner Foundation to support underprivileged kids in sports, showing he’s thinking beyond tennis while gearing up for his May 4 return. Just when fans thought that was all, Sinner was seen stepping out with someone new!
On April 29, Sinner was spotted heading to practice with Russian model Lara Leito. According to Chi magazine, the model once dated two-time Oscar winner Adrien Brody. She and Sinner reportedly began dating during his three-month ban. The journalist at Punto d Break, Jose Moron tweeted the moment on X, writing, “In Italy, media outlets such as La Gazzetta report that Jannik Sinner has a new girlfriend. This is Lara Leito, a 31-year-old Russian model. Here, the cameras caught them in Monte Carlo.” Talk about a fresh start!
This new romance follows speculations about Sinner’s breakup with Russian tennis player Anna Kalinskaya and marks a new chapter in his personal life. Jannik and Kalinskaya’s relationship began quietly around April 2024. They made it public at the French Open in May 2024. There, Sinner confirmed, “Yes, I’m with Anna, but we keep everything very confidential. I won’t say more.” The couple was often seen supporting each other on court.

They even shared a sweet kiss after Sinner’s US Open win in September 2024. But by late 2024, things cooled off. Rumors of a breakup spread after they unfollowed each other on social media. Kalinskaya was also notably absent from Sinner’s box at the 2025 Australian Open.
However, there’s yet to be an official confirmation from Jannik about this new relationship. So far, the model has posted pictures from her time at the 2025 Monte Carlo Masters and included fox emojis in her captions. Could we soon see her cheering Sinner on court? Only time will tell.
